Sex, Not Love

My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards. We met at a wedding—him sitting on the groom’s side, me sitting on the bride’s. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction. I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should’ve turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me. We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number. I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I’d sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends’ baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother’s—she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage—and flew back home. I’d thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom’s house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems. Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose?

Dirty Billionaire: The Dirty Billionaire Trilogy, Book 1

Books talk about sparks flying. F--k that shit. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe just straight up napalm. Only one problem: She wouldn't tell me her name or her number when she disappeared from the hotel room after the hottest f--king night of my life. Now I've had a taste of unicorn pussy - the sweetest, rarest of all pussy - and I need it again. So what's an asshole to do? I took this problem to the street, a missed connection gone viral. And when I find her? I'm keeping her.

The V Card

When you think about how easy it is to lose keys, phones, sunglasses and your dignity on social media, you might figure it'd be a cinch for me to ditch my V Card. You'd be wrong. At 25, I run a successful business, live in a fantastic apartment, and have fabulous friends to go out with any night of the week. And yet I'm still a card-carrying member of a club I don't want to belong to anymore. Good thing I know just the man for the deflowering job - my brother’s business partner and best friend.

Duke of Manhattan

I was born into British aristocracy, but I've made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom. Back in Britain, my family is fighting over who's the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it's me - if I'm married. It's not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman. Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I've never wanted - so I need a wife. To take my mind off business I need a night that's all pleasure.

Drunk Dial

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I'd never been able to forget - even though he so easily forgot about me - and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you've had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless prank call. Instead I went off on him - unloading 13 years of pent-up emotions. I didn't think he'd call me back.

Wow.. where do I begin.. this listen was dark, chilling, thrilling, epic, raw, sensual and absolutely unstoppable. It draws you in from the start as the heinous kidnapping of the innocent heroine chills you to the bone ~ and the casual yet sinister demands the alpha anti-hero delivers on his captive makes you fear for her safety and sanity. A slave, a prize, a punishment, a pawn, a toy, a lover.. and always and forever a prisoner owned by one very very dangerous and secretive man. Complying with his demands is not in this strong-minded heroine's DNA, escape is futile.. been there done that and got the marks and hot memories to prove it and giving in is simply unacceptable.. or so she thought.

Joseph Ingrams messed up big time stealing $4m from Crewe who is a cold heartless ruthless businessman/criminal and more.. because Crewe gets revenge on the people who dare to double-cross him. And what better way than to capture a beloved sister who is ignorant of her brother's deeds and crimes. Yet she will be snatched, imprisoned, stripped, shamed, punished, threatened and pleasured into submission by Crewe, the heartless psychotic Scotch King (and ladies it wasn't ALL bad!!).

London was training to be a Doctor when her world suddenly imploded and changed from a happy NY life of busy streets, Coffee Shops, studies and working out - to a dark cold prison cell, a soulless demanding captor, armed bodyguards, hopelessness and fear. Fear for her life, fear for her sanity, fear for her future and fear for her undeserving brother. But, as London slowly gets to know her handsome sexy charismatic captor, she starts to learn what makes him tick, what makes him angry, what makes him smile.. and what makes him hard. London also learns that there's a lot of mental scars below Crewe's shell of indifference.. an impenetrable shell she's about to try to break so she can reach his cold dead heart.. so she can make him fall in love with her.. so she can escape. But that folks is sadly.. and annoyingly, another story.

Worth a credit? Yes if you like a deliciously dark listen.. hero's secretive, moody, bad and all mega-alpha.. but there's no rape scenes ~ he's certainly not a pussycat but he's not a monster either. There's a very addictive dual POV storyline as dynamics, push/pull banter and good old sexual chemistry turns mutual hate into mutual attraction. This leads to passion and the stirring of feelings - feelings which will eventually change the planned course of everyone's lives. Secrets, some secondary sinister characters, suspense, revelations, edge of your seat drama, angst, hot sexy times, a very strong feisty smart heroine and a mega-rich dangerous anti-hero you love to hate.. hate to love.. then just love. Good narration brought it all to life and made it a very creditworthy listen.

"Should Have Done My Author Research"

I got this on the strength of a particular review, but oof. Apparently what I define as "dominant" is very different from what others imagine. I did not expect torture, rape, or violence, but found all three. Now, having seen the summaries of Sky's other offerings, I can see that this was the wrong expectation entirely. This is capital D Dark. Be warned. My review, though, is based not on the content - which was disturbing enough that I did not even get 1/4 way into it - but on the spectacularly lackluster writing. The metaphors and similes are bizarre, the characters are flat, and the language choices are repetitive to say the least. Sky keeps a great deal of the plot hidden, forgetting to show instead of telling. I do try to give a certain amount of leeway to books that are blatantly escapism, but I have watched commercials more compelling than this.I'm not here to harsh anyone's buzz - if this sort of book is your jam, more power to you. But take a look at the author's other work first, or you might be in for a nasty surprise. And, y'know, prepare for some strange past/present tense flubs.

"SPECTACULAR STORY"

Though I knew it would be good I didn't think it would turn into one of my favorite series. Even with the darkness of the beginning this book sucked me in quickly. The hot sex didn’t hurt either. The narration was excellent. Loved it.

"AWESOME!!!!"

This book is a great start to this series. I love that London is a strong and feisty character and Crewe is just a sexy alpha male. Looking forward to see what happens in book 2.

"Buttons rip off... not even subtle!"

I was just waiting for something to be different about these characters than Pearl and Crow... but wow it was like the characters from the Buttons stories got new vackstories and pasted into another book. if that's what people want, cool.But audio books are expensive and to spend upwards of 20 bucks almost the same thing as what I just finished reading was a slap in the face. I don't think I can go on to the second one unless I see some serious reviews saying to give it a chance.

"Not the “Scotland” novel I was looking for!"

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I clearly did not do my research before getting this. Can’t judge a book (audio or paper) by its cover.....warning - this is NOT a good option for Diana Gabaldon fans after finishing the Outlander series!!! Oops. Writing is juvenile, repetitive & the content is about kidnapping, rape, etc. if that’s your thing then ok. But not what I had in mind!

"Story need development"

I listened to this story with high hopes, but was disappointed.

Story is an ok plot--BUT! The writing needs work. The narration is far better then the writing. The writing is not up to par.

Better luck next time.

"I am obsessed!"

I loved the narration, especially the male narrator. I liked him so much that I am searching for more romance narrated by him.

I loved the Scotch trilogy so much that I moved right to the Button books. Penelope Sky has just jumped to my top authors list.

The book was wonderful but the recording ... not so much. The man’s voice sounded professional and crisp while the woman’s part sounded as if it was recorded in a box. It was noticeable every time the characters changed.
